“We’re having a lot of the same things that we’ve had before,” said Justin Borchardt, an organizer of the event. “One of the new things this year is the youth dance on Friday night, targeted toward the younger people and the teens.”

A DJ will be spinning tunes for the Friday youth dance.

On Saturday, citywide garage sales begin at 8 a.m.

“We have 22 garage sales registered,” Borchardt said. “Maps for the garage sales can be picked up at the Casey’s station.”
